I have a 1969 Evinrude Sportwin 4 HP motor and I just cranked it up and found that it smokes a bit more than usual and it is leaving oily deposits in the water barrel. I was running a 40:1 mixture but was advised top switch to 50:1. Well, that's what I did and I am not sure that it may be the cause. This was the 1st time I cranked her up in over 8 months. Is the smoking and deposits due to just it sitting for a while or could there be serious underlying problems? Thanks in advance!
